Description:

Disability AU. Find art and more on tumblr at @zarvasace :) Updated sporadically, will probably mostly feature short oneshots and drabbles. A longer summary of each disability can be found here on tumblr. Trawl through the tag "#disability au" to find more information about what the boys' conditions are like and how they adapt.

I am slowly working on making podfics for this series. They aren't professional by any means, but hopefully they're fun. :)

Notes:

Super Short Summary

This AU is avoiding cure plots and excess angst related to the disability. I've done research and put in my own experiences but obviously not everything is going to be perfect. If you have experience with one of these and I did something wrong or you can think of something that would be fun to include, reach out on tumblr!

Four—paraparesis, also called partial paralysis, due to a spinal cord injury. He can't walk without support, which usually comes in the form of a wheelchair he modified, or crutches.

Hyrule—retinopathy of prematurity, and mild cataracts. He's functionally blind, though he can make out shapes of light and dark with a few shades in between. He has a stick he uses as a white cane, and a bit of a magic radar.

Legend—RRMS, relapse/remission multiple sclerosis. Translates mostly into stiffness in his legs and fatigue. Relapse periods for him are characterized by a lot of joint pain and temporary periods of partial blindness.

Sky—moderate to severe deafness from birth. He speaks very clearly (and maybe a bit loudly) due to speech therapy. He gets magic hearing aids in Wild's world because I want him to.

Time—that eye he always has closed? It's missing now. He has a cool eye patch. Don't throw things at him.

Twilight—transverse deficiency. He's been missing his right arm between shoulder and bicep since birth. Wolfie is conspicuously three-legged, not that anyone notices the connection sooner.

Warriors—adductor/tremor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD, a form of laryngeal dystonia.) He can talk, but his voice is quiet and very rough, and shakes almost too much to understand. He prefers signing as his main method of communication.

Wild—worse burn scars, hypertrophic and contractual. He also deals with atherosclerosis, a heart condition that he occasionally medicates for. His past life had surgery for it.

Wind—peg leg pirate! Lost his left leg a few inches past the knee to infection. He has a nice, foot-shaped wood and leather prosthetic that might be a little small.
